Hi,
How about a mention of Norm Babb, the pharmacist who started a photography business in a corner of his fathers pharmacy on Yew Street at Cornwall circa 1961/2 which grew like topsy and eventually became the #1 Photography Store in the area “Kits Camertas” now better known in the US and recently taken over by the giant “Ritz” chain………Undoubtedly a very large and indelible slice of Kitsilano history!
